Hi! I am Kecia from Kecia’s Flavor Breakthrough! I feature my own recipes, which I try to create using minimally processed ingredients! I have been blogging for almost a year now! I really love it; you could say it has become my passion! Cooking is something I just really enjoy. So it is no surprise that I was so excited to have Brandi AKA Aunt Bee ask me to do a guest blog post! Brandi has become one of my dearest blogging buddies so it means a great deal to me to be able to share this recipe with her followers! I have been waiting for just the perfect recipe and I knew this would be something she would just love!
I had pulled out ground beef from the freezer a couple of days ago, but really didn’t feel like cooking dinner tonight. I was tired and still full from lunch. So, I took the meat and fried it up with onions and garlic and put it in the fridge, not quite knowing what I wanted to do with it. So… this is what I came up with. I will write it up like I am starting with fresh ground beef, not already cooked. I guess it was good… a two helping dinner for my Honey!
